augusten burroughs

so i went to starbucks today, and you know how they have those little things "the way i see it" or whatever? well the one on my cup was from augusten burroughs, the author of 'running with scissors'. i've never read the book.. but anyway, the way i see it thing inspired me to look up some quotes by him.. and i think i'm going to get his books from the library.

“Why am I so anxious? And then it hits me. I'm not anxious, I'm lonely. And I'm lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be so lonely because it seems catastrophic - seeing the car just as it hits you.”

“It's a wonder I'm even alive. Sometimes I think that. I think that I can't believe I haven't killed myself. But there's something in me that just keeps going on. I think it has something to do with tomorrow, that there is always one, and that everything can change when it comes.”
